REMEMBER WHEN

 

 IT WAS ALL SO EASY

 

OUR PROBLEMS WERE FEW

 

REMEMBER IT SEEMED

 

THERE WAS SO MUCH 

 

TO LOOK FORWARD TO 

 

WE DIDN'T KNOW HOW LUCKY WE WERE

 

OH A LIFE CAN TAKE

 

SO MANY TURNS

 

KEEP YOU IN A PLACE

 

OR TAKE YOU FARAWAY 

 

THE TRUTH LIES SOMEWHERE BETWEEN

 

THE BEGINNING AND THE END

 

EVERYTHING ON THE LINE

 

YOU WIN YOU LOSE SOMETIMES

 

 

DARKNESS SWAYS TO LIGHT

 

TO DREAMS IN FLIGHT

 

YOU TOSS YOU TURN

 

YOU SHINE YOU BURN

 

LIKE THE BEAUTIFUL SUN

 

ENOUGH TO BE

 

ENOUGH TO SEE

 

YOU KEEP ON GOING

 

YOU CAN'T STOP LIFE

 

FROM SHOWING UP FOR YOU

 

STAND LONG AS MAY YOU

 

ALWAYS KNOW WHAT TO DO

 

AND AS YOU SEE THE TOP

 

ITS A LONG DROP

 

YOU KNOW BY NOW

 

ALL IT TAKES EVERYTHING 

TIME IS SWEET

BLOWING ON THE WINDS

REMINDS YOU WHAT WAS THERE

WHAT WAS AND YOU KNOW YOU

CAN'T GO BACK THERE

A TIME  FAR REMOVED

YOU CAN SHARE

DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN

TIME WAS RIGID WOULD NOT BEND

THEN ONE DAY 

 

IT CLOSED AROUND YOU

YOU COULD FEEL IT END

THAT MOMENT TOOK YOU CLOSER THAN

YOU'VE EVER BEEN

YOUR FREE BUT YOU'RE NOT REALLY FREE

 

THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT HAS TO BE

 

YOU THINK YOU'RE GONNA MAKE IT

 

BUT YOU JUST DON'T KNOW

 

YOU CAN'T LET GO

 

ALL THE DARKNESS SWAYS TO LIGHT
